Evaluation: 1. One limitation is that it was conducted a long time ago. 2. One strength is that the results are useful in confirming Miller's conclusions.

Encoding

Baddeley (1966) Encoding in STM and LTM,

Aims & procedure: Four groups (acoustically/semantically similar/dissimilar. Recall was tested by placing words in right order. STM and LTM tested.

Findings & conclusions: Acoustically similar words remebered worst for STM. Semantically similar words remembered worst for LTM. This suggests that encoding differs between STM and LTM.

Evaluation: 1. One limitation of this study was that it used quite artificial stimuli rather than meaningful material. 2. Another limitation of this study is that the LTM memory task wasn't very long term.

Evaluation: 1. One strength of MSM is that it is easy totest the predictions of the model experimentally. 2. A second strength of the MSM comes from research support from the case study of HM. Further research comes from brain scans prefrontal cortex is often active when individuals are involved in immediate tasks (i.e. STM) whereas thehippocampus is active when LTM in individuals is engaged) 4. One limitation of MSM is that it oversimplifies memory processes. 5. A second limitation of the MSM is that…
